Can We Make This Story by Dr. Preeti Singh Go Viral? What Do You Think?

The power of the Medium community at work

Dear fellow Medium-ites, I hereby argue that we need to make this post by Dr. Preeti Singh go viral, like yesterday:

A bit of explanation (sorry, this is really not meant to be a link drop):

Recently she’d offered this response to my photo challenge here on In Living Color:

In my own ‘B’ offering “Beautiful Babies, Berries, Bears, Bougainvillea… and Banana Cream Pie! 😋” I had talked about my most viewed post, with 3.4k views and counting:

What’s readily apparent is that we both LOVE bougainvillea… but what else struck me is when she said this:

I started my blog on Word Press but closed it eventually. My son told me to test Medium by transferring a post. I transferred the Bougainville post shown below. I had no followers. No one saw my post. It went unnoticed. Later somewhere in September 2020, I became a Medium member and one person who motivated me to shift to Medium besides my son was Geetika Sethi who clapped on my post. I was so dissopointed.

Bouganville that I love had gone unnoticed. So please at least take a look at this mini post. This was posted on June 13,2020 after which I came back in September and wrote my first post in Illumination thanks to Dr Mehmet Yildiz where I am now an editor.

This made me feel quite sad. Dr. Preeti Singh is such a huge supporter of the Medium community and so many writers within it. So, would you mind making this post go viral… or at least give it a lot more views, claps, likes, etc?: “Everybody’s Friend: The Selfless Colourful Bougainvillea”.

What do you think? Can you do it?

Sorry for the tag, but with the way Medium is now, not sure how many people will ever see this post! Please feel free to create your own post and share her story so that it gets lots of hits… and feel free to tag me too if you feel like it so I can see the love being shared!
